A “mountain” of gold quietly arrives in the US: Why some experts believe this could mean a world war is on the horizon


Gold has long symbolized wealth, power, and stability. Beyond its monetary value, it remains one of the most sought-after assets in the world. The United States appears to be reinforcing its position as the global leader in gold reserves, quietly adding to its strategic reserves at a time of great market volatility.

According to the World Gold Council, the US currently holds 8,133.46 metric tons of gold, more than double the reserves of Germany, Europe’s top holder, which has 3,351.53 tons. However, recent developments suggest that the US may be preparing for more than just economic security.



How much gold has the US added to its reserves in 2025?

Earlier this year, reports emerged that the US had quietly imported a significant amount of gold from countries like Switzerland, just before a global tariff crisis threatened to disrupt the precious metals market. In total, over 600 metric tons were brought in under the radar.
